Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker on the Football Cliches podcast's fifth anniversary. The agenda includes: a Serie A commentary tribute from an unexpected source, the 1990 version of “if Lionel Messi did that, we’d all be raving about it”, yet another Premier League name in a true-crime documentary, co-commentator Gary Breen plucks some Barry Manilow out of nowhere, a one-time-only return for Premier League Years Playlist Bingo and a celebration of half a decade of having the language of football on absolute toast.
Meanwhile, the panel briefly ponder how many consecutive clean sheets it would take to get a goalkeeper from Sunday League to the Premier League - and Charlie's "generic football pundit" voice takes on its ultimate challenge.

Has the Premier League hit peak “What a job [Manager X] is doing up/down there?”
Adam Hurrey is joined on the Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare, David Walker and Nick Miller. On the agenda: more sub-standard depictions of football fans in advertising, football commentators’ names in Anglo-Australian crime dramas, the greatest substitution in the history of the Scottish Cup, the perennial joy of a stadium exclaiming something in perfect unison and a pedantic observation on Phil Foden's goal celebration.
Meanwhile, the panel ponder the question: is this the most “what a job [Manager X] is doing” Premier League season of all time?

Portrait-aspect football & England managers in the stands: The listeners' loves & hates (feat. Chloe Petts)
Adam Hurrey, Charlie Eccleshare and David Walker are joined by returning special guest Chloe Petts to entertain this month's listener entries for Mesut Haaland Dicks, as the Clichés faithful nominate their niche footballing fascinations and irritations.
Among the selections are how football improves our basic maths, players' pointless pre-match Instagram content, a half-time dad joke from an Evertonian, the overrated significance of the England manager attending a game, the "portraitification of football" and late substitutes being named man of the match.
Meanwhile, the Adjudication Panel learn more about the possible origins of the "magic of the FA Cup".

Trip-hop Liam Delap, the terminal velocity of a lob & the goal gifting crisis
Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Nick Miller and, for his 250th Cliches appearance, David Walker. On the agenda: Newcastle having “a little toe” in the Carabao Cup final, an updated cast list for the Roy Keane/Mick McCarthy film, whether a lob could ever "rattle the crossbar", a Liam Delap penalty that sounds like late-90s trip-hop, a defence of Ferencvaros' credentials as "giants”, some accidental footballspeak when switching broadband providers and much more.
Meanwhile, the panel decide if West Ham's treatment of Julen Lopetegui reached the "shabby" threshold and whether a goalkeeper can be "tearing it up".
